Tomatoes only starting to fruit as we speak. Took a long time.

Idiot lawn mower man, not a gardener, loves to use weed killer & thought my spring buds- zuccini, eggplant, toms, capsican - were weeds & killed my crop. He also thought dill, parsley, corriander & basil were weeds. Sigh.

Chronic ocean heating fuels β€˜staggering’ loss of marine life, study finds Fish levels fall by 7.2% with as little as 0.1C of warming per decade, northern hemisphere research shows

Since the Spanish-American War 1898, the US has been almost constantly involved in some kind of military conflict. From 2001 to 2021, there were practically continuous major wars. In total, approximately 120–125 years of almost continuous military engagements even longer including smaller operations

β€œUnfortunately, because Congress is not taking any steps to rein ICE officers in, there really is no option other than states protecting their constituents’ rights," said Joanna Schwartz, a law professor at UCLA.

Chris Minns' stormtroopers. Guns for graffiti, silence for the dead - Michael West Chris Minns' NSW government is creating a policing unit of around 250 officers, prioritising hate crimes above other violence.

this bloke gets it. All of this, to which I would add, β€œdeterrence” is the most disproven theory in all of criminology.

Police do not β€œdeter crime”, police create criminality. They also cause poverty and trauma via violence and criminalisation processes.

What about raising the rate? People can't live on $15,000 a year. Can't be done. Below poverty. Cruel.
